Warning: To use any features in this device, other than the alarm clock,
the phone must be switched on. Do not switch the device on when wireless
phone use may cause interference or danger.
To use the phone you must have service from a wireless service provider. Many of
the features in this device depend on features in the wireless network to function.
These Network Services may not be available on all networks or you may have to
make specific arrangements with your service provider before you can utilize
Network Services. Your service provider may need to give you additional
instructions for their use and explain what charges will apply. Some networks may
have limitations that affect how you can use Network Services. For instance, some
networks may not support all language-dependent characters and services.

your service provider for more information.
• SHARED MEMORY
The following features in this phone may share memory: contacts, text and
multimedia messages, images and ringing tones in gallery, calendar, to-do notes,
and Java™ games and applications. Use of one or more of these features may
reduce the memory available for the remaining features sharing memory. For
example, saving many images or bookmarks may use all of the available memory.
Your phone may display a message that the memory is full when you try to use a
shared memory feature. In this case, delete some of the information or entries
stored in the shared memory features before continuing. Some of the features,
such as, contacts, text and multimedia messages, images and ringing tones in
gallery, calendar, to-do notes, and Java games and applications may have a certain
amount of memory specially allotted to them in addition to the amount of memory
shared with other features.
Congratulations on your purchase of the Nokia 3100 mobile phone. Your phone
provides many functions which are practical for daily use, such as a stopwatch,
alarm clock, calculator, calendar, and more. Your phone can also connect to a PC,
laptop, or other device using the data cable. To personalize your phone, you can set
your favorite ringing tones, create a Go to Menu, and select an Xpress-on™ color
cover. For more information on connectivity, refer to the Nokia PC Suite user guide. The Nokia PC Suite user guide, Nokia PC Suite, and all related software can be
